Does anyone know where to get the star-shaped retainer shown in this picture? I removed my Craven pulley and found this retainer loose from the supercharger nose. Possibly this is a seal retainer. Thanks.


Picture borrowed from sranderle.

 

I would think you could get one from the dealer. Believe it or not, some parts from the dealer aren't expensive at all.

 

My local dealer says they cannot provide this part. All MINI can do is sell the entire supercharger at $1500 plus. I was afraid of this as I have read on other threads that MINI considers the supercharger as a non-serviceable item.

 

WTF
Check with one of the supercharger rebuilding companies.
